A stripey (but not meant to be stripey) Cassia dress

Cassia dress- Georgie Hallam (Tikki)

yarn- 8 ply wool

...in (fuschia) pink..

(now who do you think chose that colour?)

Notice the stripe through the body of the dress?

*ahem*

It would appear when I was grabbing the balls of wool at the yarn sale,

while elbowing the little old blue rinse set ladies out of the way,

it turns out that I grabbed a mix of different labelled wool which looked the same colour.

Some people (likely little old ladies with a blue rinse) might say that it served me right...

Still learning lessons as I go it would seem.

I am knitting a cardi for myself now because I then I can get away from pink yarn.

Though to be fair, I am doing Tikki's KAL

and the little goddess and I have compromised on a colour change-

red is her 2nd favourite colour.

There are a few patterns around with this ruched pattern particularly around the neckline.

I am kinda in love with it.

First my GarnStudio tunic,

now Tikki's Cassia,

soon the Madeline Tosh Tea Leaves cardigan. (yes Kate from Foxs Lane- you helped me find that one)

then Tikki's Olearia.

I am sure that I will get sick of it at some point...maybe...
